In the mood for seafood? I have the perfect spot for lunch, dinner or fresh fish to cook at home, Morgan’s Lobster Shack located in downtown Truckee on West River Street. Every meal is sure to impress. Morgan’s is locally owned and has come to Truckee to provide the freshest seafood in a friendly West Coast location serving their best East Coast recipes. Be sure to try the lobster roll, unbelievable clam chowder and crab cakes. Paired with a cold Anchor Steam, these bites can't be beat.

A spin on comfort food, the lobster grilled cheese is one you will not forget and go back for time and time again. Offering sustainable, fresh, organic, locally sourced food, you can taste the difference in each bite. Next time you are looking for seafood, head to Morgan’s for a sure fire good meal.

Looking for something fun to do with the whole family or maybe while the others are off skiing for the day? Take the tram up to High Camp that sits high above the Village at Squaw Valley. Board the tram in the Village at the base of the mountain. Right away you will be taken back as you pull out of the loading station and head straight up the mountain over a massive rock wall called "Tram Face" into a world that will remind you of

Disneyland. As the tram driver takes you back through the deep Squaw Valley history on the way up, you will be amazed at how high you are hanging over it all.

About 10 minutes later you are at High Camp, 2,000 feet higher than where you started sitting at 8,200 feet with panoramic views of Lake Tahoe and the entire Squaw Valley mountain.

Take your time and enjoy all the activities that are offered at High Camp. Ice Skating, swimming, restaurants, and my favorite, the self guided Olympic museum with memorabilia from the 1960 Winter Olympics.

Enjoy the ride down dropping you back to the Village at Squaw Valley. If you still have time, enjoy all the shopping and eateries throughout the Village. My favorite spot is the Wild Flower Cookie shop or the KT-22 Base Bar on a sunny day.

Welcome back to Tahoe, Snow. We have desperately missed you. This past weekend brought the Tahoe area a ton of snow! Locals and visitors alike couldn't be happier. One of the best things about Tahoe is that just one good storm can create and instant winter. And that is what happened last weekend.

I think this photo of my little boy encompassed the feeling of everyone who lives here:

A friend of mine posted this awesome video of his fresh turns:

It seems like everyone is out getting turns like these. Come up and join the fun!
